During the Clone Wars, a period of conflict between the Galactic Republic and a separatist faction that had broken away from the galactic government, a Trandoshan bounty hunter named T'doshok, who was male, hatched a scheme. His plan involved the capture of Republic Senator Shayla Paige-Tarkin from the planet Coruscant, with the intention of delivering her to the Separatists in return for a substantial bounty. However, his scheme was foiled when he was intercepted by Clone Commander Fox and the Coruscant Guard, a specialized unit of clone troopers assigned to protect the Senate. Despite his attempts to escape, the commander swiftly disarmed and apprehended the Trandoshan.
In an attempt to profit from the substantial bounty offered by the Confederacy of Independent Systems for members of the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars between them and the Galactic Republic, T'doshok, a male Trandoshan working as a bounty hunter, journeyed to Coruscant, the capital planet of the Republic. His goal was to seize Senator Shayla Paige-Tarkin. However, his intentions were discovered, and Clone Commander Fox, who led the Coruscant Guard, a clone troopers unit responsible for safeguarding the Senate and its members, learned of the plan through espionage. Fox was aware of him even before his starship landed and he mobilized a trooper unit to confront T'doshok, with orders to capture him alive.
The bounty hunter, upon seeing Fox alone, initiated an attack using his ACP scatter gun. His initial shots missed their mark, prompting T'doshok to seek cover behind an old speeder, from which he unleashed a barrage of shots that narrowly missed Fox's head. The clone raised his blaster, taking aim, but refrained from firing to avoid jeopardizing his objective. The Trandoshan then fled through the streets, with Fox in pursuit, who contacted his team. The clones swiftly encircled T'doshok, leaving him with no avenue of escape. In desperation, he activated his concealed jetpack and ascended to a nearby rooftop. Fox employed an ascension gun to scale the building and reach the roof, while the Trandoshan fired upon him. The clone sought cover and discharged several warning shots before demanding T'doshok's surrender.
The bounty hunter refused and fired his weapon. However, Fox capitalized on the Trandoshan species' characteristically slow firing speed and disarmed the alien, shooting the gun from his grasp. Fox reiterated his demand for surrender, but the commander noticed that he was looking for a way to escape. He threatened to shoot the Trandoshan out of the sky if he tried to use his jetpack again. Recognizing the futility of his situation, T'doshok relented and was taken into custody by the Guard.
T'doshok, a male Trandoshan, operated as a bounty hunter throughout the galaxy, distinguished by his brown scales and orange eyes. He demonstrated a willingness to pursue bounties that others had failed to collect, viewing it as a swift path to acquiring a substantial sum of credits. When confronted by Fox, he exhibited visible signs of nervousness, yet defiantly refused to surrender and opened fire on the clone. T'doshok displayed a lack of precision with his blaster, although some of his shots came close to hitting their target. The persistent bounty hunter only yielded, with reluctance, to Fox's forces when all avenues of escape were exhausted.
The Trandoshan possessed knowledge of at least a portion of his native tongue, Dosh. Furthermore, he exhibited the ability to communicate in Galactic Basic Standard, albeit with grammatical imperfections. T'doshok was characterized by a sluggish trigger finger, a trait commonly observed among members of his species.
T'doshok made an appearance in the four-page eBook "Out Foxed" authored by Rob Valois, which was released in 2008. Within the narrative, he uttered the phrase "T'doshok no surrender," potentially alluding to his species, as the Ultimate Alien Anthology (2003) indicated that this served as the species' name in their native language. This would have aligned with his species' backstory, as they worshiped a deity called the Scorekeeper, who tallied jagannath points for everything a Trandoshan hunter did. Trandoshans did not surrender because to be caught alive or shamed meant that the Scorekeeper would reset an individual's tally and invalidate their life's work. However, four years later, The Essential Reader's Companion by Pablo Hidalgo clarified in a brief dramatis personae for the short story that this was the bounty hunter's name, so he was speaking in the third person.
